What a Friend we have in Jesus

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
  All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
  Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
  O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
  Everything to God in prayer!
2
Have we trials and temptations?
  Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
  Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
  Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
  Take it to the Lord in prayer.
3
Are we weak and heavy-laden,
  Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge—
  Take it to the Lord in prayer;
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
  Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
  Thou wilt find a solace there.

Because of some situations around I was so heavy in heart, but thank God for this song it gives me hope and peace of mind remembering that I can take all conditions around to Jesus.

Feeling weary about the situation globally so I googled what the bible says about it. It was very nice to read scripture & bring it back to He who created us & will always take care of us. This song was a beautiful reminder to pray for all.. Praying for my sister who lost her husband to cancer yesterday... Praying for my husbands brother who is very sick with cancer... May the peace that passes all understanding be with you all.

My heart was sadden by so many things and God put this song into my heart. I remember the choir singing it when I was a child but didn’t understand the meaning until my adulthood. Praise and Thanks to God Almighty!
